Update of the risk assessment on dioxins and dioxin‐like PCBs in feed and food

EFSA Journal, Volume 24, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract The European Commission asked EFSA to update its 2018 risk assessment on polychlorinated dibenzo‐p‐dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and dioxin‐like polychlorinated biphenyls (DL‐PCBs) in feed and food, based on the 2022 WHO Toxic Equivalency Factors (WHO2022‐TEFs).

Photoelectrocatalytic Oxidation of Diuron in Ethanol: Performance, Synergy, and Toxicity Assessment of Ti‐Based Mixed‐Metal‐Oxides Anodes

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 10, Issue 5, May 2026.
Photoelectrocatalysis in an ethanol medium enables highly efficient diuron removal using mixed‐metal‐oxide anodes, while benefiting from a greener, recyclable organic solvent that actively promotes radical generation. IrO2 shows strong synergy between light and current without additional energy cost.

Contaminants of emerging concern in agricultural soils: Current understanding, overlooked issues, and future priorities

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 3, Page 792-810, May 2026.
Contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) in agriculture represent a growing global challenge for food safety and public health. In this review, we synthesized evidence on how substances such as pharmaceuticals, microplastics, and per‐ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) enter soils, accumulate in crops, and affect ecological and human health. We found

Phytoremediation of Wastewater From Oil Well Drilling: Potential of Different Plant Species

Water Environment Research, Volume 98, Issue 5, May 2026.
Purple fountain grass (Cenchrus setaceus “Rubrum”) is a promising plant for using in constructed wetlands treating complex oil drilling effluents. ABSTRACT This study evaluated the removal of contaminants present in wastewater from oil well drilling in the presence of three plant species: water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes), cattail (Typha ...
